How do you figure the watts of a 110 volt pump that is 135 hp and has an amp draw of 54? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Yes, power = voltage x current = 54 x 110 = 5940 watts.
But the odd thing is the rated horsepower. I was taught that one horsepower = 746 watts, so 135 hp = 100,000 watts.
Are you certain that the pump is rated at 136 horsepower? Or can anyone else address the discrepency?
Answer
W=volts X amps; therefore
W= (110)(54)
